Forest Park Apartments

Absolutely atrocious and rude management, they will lose documents and emails they receive from you (like a 60 day notice to vacate) and charge you for it. Not to mention charge hundreds of dollars in "inspection" fees. Elevate living has earned its notorious reputation .

The apt thus far is above my expectations. The maintenance is excellent.

Too noisy, ac doesnt work well, doors too narrow for furnitures, charged me late fee without any notice on the first month, no good door system (big and heavy package goto office and no help to carry). Too many issues, didnt like it at all. Nice thing was spacious rooms and affordable but lot of issues.

If I had that apartment, for that price, in isolation from management and neighbors I would have little to complain about. The amount of housing you get for the price is very acceptable. However, the cheap price doesn't make up for the laziness of the maintenance, the noisy neighbors, unattended children, and alarming incidence of crime. We will work through points one by one. I really appreciated the snow being plowed into my parking spot regularly prior to school. I would regularly have... people park in my single spot (when not buried in the plowed snow), and nothing was done by management remediate the recurred problem. I also don't agree with being charged for a maintenance fees during moveout, when the maintenance staff paints over nails instead of removing them and got more paint on the floor than walls (that's lazy and poorly done, yikes). Most of my neighbors were noisy, rude, and not pleasant to be around. Though this isn't the complex's fault entirely, it was significantly worse than any of the 5 cities I have lived in prior. The complex switched from coin operated washer/dryer to a credit card version.... but replaced them with machines that would require 2 dry cycles to completely dry, while also reducing the total number of working machines on the floor by two. My complex was open to a large courtyard that was filled with unattended, poorly mannered, and loud children. I would constantly have kids banging on my glass and screen door and I would politely asked them to please not with no success. I once asked their parents if they found this acceptable and was answered with "not my problem". I am a full time student and had to be noise cancelling headphones to be able to study in my own apartment. Lastly, I can not exaggerate how bad the crime is here. I did not regularly feel safe in my apartment and my classmate and I had police sighting near everyday. One unit had back to back to back domestic disturbances, multiple threats of residents threatening to kill someone (or being threatened), and multiple attempted B&E's. It's not acceptable, it's not safe, and it's not worth your money. I can not recommend living here for other people unless. The inside of my place was nice and cozy, but the management and other residents detract so much from the whole package . This is by far the worst living situation I have ever been a part of.
